Contrast between good and evil

Let’s be the foreman of Citroen. Through the Czech temporary workers at Citroen, he learned about some wealthy peasants and used drugs to control the Czechs to steal and kill. Albert, a diligent coffee shop owner, accidentally recognized Jean at the racecourse and was killed by the Czechs who were given control. Albert called the detective Maigret before he died. Maigret got the truth out of her cocoon.

Maigret has a good reputation in Paris. Any citizen is willing to trust him and provide clues. Before his death, Albert also mentioned that his wife Nina had met him. It turns out that Nina had served the Meregg and his wife at the resort many years ago, so Albert would think of Merreg when he was in danger.

Maigret is willing to restore the course of the matter. His wife is also willing to support him.

The Czechs live a life inferior to pigs and dogs in Paris and are not treated as people by Parisians, but only as tools and things. A person who has lost his country is too miserable. He looked like a dog, had a wife and three children, but deceived a beautiful girlfriend, treated Czechs cruelly, and led several murders.

Albert is conscientious and commonplace. His lifelong expectation is to get married and have children, but he was killed by accident, a tragedy of ordinary people.

Maigret's Dead Man quotes

  • [to the man who murdered Albert Rochain and who has just described him as "a little man - a nobody"]

    Chief Inspector Jules Maigret: I want you to know that his name was Albert Rochain and that he had a wife and that they were trying to start a family. And for all his little bets and his little winnings, his life was more successful than yours, because *he* didn't end up like an animal in a cage, despised by everyone, with nothing to look forward to - except his execution.
